Kickass dude, I like your style of break-trance.

I am totally picking up on the Remote Control Productions vibe, nice job!

This is so much more epic in stereo with extra channels dude, awesome job!

Hey all! Been a while since I check into OCR, glad to see everyone is still cruising. This is a section of a housey mix of Search Man's Theme from megaman 8, with some electro elements in it too. I hope this produces smiles! www.siamey.com/ocrtemp/heath_morris_-_search_man_shuffle_megaman_8.mp3

Thank you sir, I'm glad someone realized how short my source was. Remixes from ultra short sources are pretty fun though, they bend you in ways regular remixes don't.

Hahaha what the fuck. I've never heard of this crotchstain. This is kinda funny though, not 1 month ago did I have my first real experience with a pathological liar, and it scared the hell out of me. This dude isn't necessarily a pathological liar, maybe just some guy trying to grow his internet dick via vgtunes but it still astounds me how some people's brains can be wired to let them be this dishonest. Maybe some traumatic event broke their moral barometer. Did anyone report him to newgrounds yet? He isn't out of commission yet as far as I can tell.

Thor rocks my socks, plus the new sequencer is pretty cool once you get used to it. Sorry for injecting you with shit oppinions

Holy cow! What an immature asshole I was, even less than 2 years ago! Reading this thread totally blows my mind! UPDATE: I love Reason 4 now. I use almost everything they added in 4 and I love it. Personality Update: I am no longer this annoying sack of shit, probably because I have been born again in the eyes of our glorious lord and savior Jesus Christ. All hail Jesus Christ. Let his light cleanse us of sin and

Thanks to Avaris for being an awesome director and keeping at me to finish stuff but not making me feel like a fail. He will be a good parent

Does anyone know that flutey instrument played in "Inn" and other songs? its like a whistley flutey thing. It is in a lot of wild west songs, and also I'm pretty sure it is the instrument that Heihachi plays in Sukiyaki Western Django if anyone has seen that 2 hour waste of time. Thanks!

for the love of god is there 1 trance mixer here who uses reason 4 who wants to collab djsiamey@hotmail.com plz

dude that happened to me too last month, probly some unstable jailbreak shit i was installing messed it up. the only thing that fixed it was restoring and rejailbreaking :/ sorry

yea dude that sounds good, eliminate all the variables

jeeeeez. the only other thing i could say is try on xp instead of 7. or at least vista if no xp is available. sorry I can't figure this one out dude

shit, hmmmm ok I guess try it on xp; ive never had your specific error but when i did have windows 7 errors i went over to an xp comp and did the exact same thing and it worked. alternatively, try restoring back to 2.2 and do the same deal, windows 7 first, xp if 7 is a no go. all else fails, spring for os3, a lot of the good jailbreak programs have been certified to work with 3 now so its less of a risk. keep me up to date!

This post is for tatehermosa: (As for kittykar, I would recommend deleting the firmware that you got from iTunes, and downloading the 2.2.1 firmware from the site in this post. Then go into iTunes and hold shift while you click the "restore" button, this will allow you to select your own firmware file to use for the restore. Browse to the file you downloaded and restore using it. Then try redsn0w again. If this doesn't work.... OH fuck I just read over your post again and realized you already tried this. OK umm try running this entire process on a WinXP computer, I have had headaches and little success jailbreaking 2nd Gens on windows 7, and compatibility mode wouldnt help in this case). If you still have no luck then I would ask if you have ever brought the iTouch past 2.2.1, because downgrading the firmware could be fucking with it. Forgive me if 2.2.1 is the latest firmware for iTouch, the have been off my radar for a while. So step 1, make sure you are using the latest version of redsn0w, from an official devteam torrent (links are in this post) and have RESTORED (factory reset) the phone using the exact same firmware you are trying to tell redsn0w to use afterwards. step 2, try on an XP computer. step 3, come back and yell at me and ill try to help. Ive set this thread to email notify me of replies now, so ill be back asap this time, sorry about the wait.)) tatehermosa stuff starts here: An important distinction to make is that redsn0w is only for jailbreaking the firmware, not upgrading it. Perhaps you already know this and it is just semantics we are differing on, but I have seen some botched iPhone projects because of upgrading rather than restoring, and other combinations of processes, so lets start from the top and try this: 1. download redsnow .8 from piratebay (the link for the official iPhone devteam torrents is on their site, on the left nav bar) http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ 2. download the 3.0 (NOT 3.0.1) firmware from http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ (select "iPhone 3G (3.0/7A341)" from the second dropdown menu and click download) save this to your desktop using firefox preferably, and definitely not Safari. 3. Fire up iTunes 8.2 (or download it if you don't have this version yet) and pop in your iPhone, then on the main page click the restore button, or "restore and upgrade" if that is how the button appears. Click yes to all the things it tells you. What we want to be careful of is that we did not simply click the "upgrade" button. Restoring to factory default settings is important when performing any upgrades because otherwise the jailbroken programs can get f'd up. Better to just start fresh, then we know we are cutting out all the variables for error in the jailbreak process. The iTunes dialog box will pop up asking if you want to install firmware 3.0.1, and we want this because it is essentially 3.0 with one bug fix, and it does not affect our ability to jailbreak and unlock the phone. Let it do its business, and once the phone restarts itunes will probly bitch at you because you have a non standard SIM in the phone. shut down iTunes and fire up redsn0w .8 The first page of redsn0w will ask for the CURRENT ipsw file, the current firmware that is installed on your phone. You want to select the 3.0 firmware file that you downloaded from the website for this, NOT the 3.0.1, because redsn0w has not been updated to recognize this as a valid firmware file yet, and there are no changes in 3.0.1 that redsn0w cares about, so directing it to the 3.0 IPSW file is fine. These directions come directly from the DevTeam, so it is legit. Once it says "IPSW successfully identified" or something similar, click next and it will do some loading. Now make sure you have your iPhone plugged in, and turned off. This means hitting the home button to turn the screen on, then holding the power button down until the red power slider appears, then drag your finger to the right to power down the iPhone. Give it a minute to power down, then click next in redsn0w and get ready for the old finger tricks to bring the device into DFU mode. Don't worry about botching this, it won't brick your unit, at the very worst redsn0w will ask you to do it again. Once the redsn0w screen goes to the next page, with the loading bar, you can release your fingers and sit back and watch the funny graphics on your phone as it jailbreaks it. I especially like the steve jobs cartoon with the Cyrillic text. Once it is all jailbroken and has rebooted a couple times on its own etc etc, you can fire up cydia or ICY (i forgot to mention that redsn0w gives you an option to install one or the other, or both) (ICY is similar to cydia with a different interface, some say faster, I still prefer cydia though. I think icy is just a different frontend for the cydia system) Anyways, fire one of them up, wait for it to do its one-time-fresh-install bullshit, it might restart springboard, then fire it up again and add "repo666.ultrasn0w.com" without the quotes to your repository list, then search for ultrasn0w and download it. It should be at version .9 I think. Now your iPhone should be unlocked. If you are on T-mobile then turn off 3G using settings or SBSettings since it will just drain your battery and won't work anyways. once you have installed ultrasn0w, the phone should be unlocked If this didnt work, please detail where it started to go wrong, and we will go from there. It is possible that vista is the culprit, but I've unlocked on vista before too. I apologize for going overboard on the steps and baby-talking the tech jargon cause I'm sure you know most of this stuff already but I just wanted to do a full run-through of the procedure before we start troubleshooting it. I hope it goes well but if not we'll figure it out.

lol my bad guys. Thanks for pointing that out kittykar, it was just one of those nights. I swear by those sites for all the repairs i do in the mac world. @soul, sorry, i misunderstood something you said and assumed your friend had a 2nd gen itouch, and thus tailored my commentary towards 2nd gen. The first gen might be a trifle easier to handle, in fact it might be much less of a nightmare. I would check some of the breakdown guides for 1st gen iTouch on those sites and see if there are any steps that are a hassle. I hope it is less bullshit than I had to deal with. I would warn against making any purchases without careful review of the parts youll need. You might not even need the bezel or lcd if it is put together much differently than the 2nd gen. Lets hope that the 1st gen is more like the iPhone 3G universe, where the bezel holds the digitizer in with snaps instead of glue, and there is peace on earth. I was learning about the iTouch while i repaired his, so all in all it was about 1 or 2 hours work, spaced out to 2 weeks, since i ordered the bezel after the new lcd and digitizer arrived and i realized we needed a new bezel, etc etc fucking problems. @kittykar If I am correct in remembering that you have an iTouch, then upgrading to firmware 2.2 or 2.2.1 is not a big deal, where as I would reccomend all iPhone 3G users stick to 2.2 for now, since 2.2.1 adds irreversible changes to modem firmware, making it un-unlockable until you hit OS 3.0, which I am avoiding for now. * If you have 1st gen iTouch then you can use Redsn0w to jailbreak it. RedSn0w is an easy-as-pie wizard which can jailbreak 1st gen iTouch and install Cydia on it. Cydia is like the "app-store" for jailbroken apps. * If you have a 2nd gen iTouch, then you can use QuickPWN to jailbreak it. QuickPWN is another simple program like Redsn0w, which will walk you through it step by step. In both cases, you will need some suplimentry files, such as the firmware file (.ipsw) with the same version as your installed firmware (meaning if you are running 2.2, then you will need the 2.2 firmware ".ipsw" file). These are the official software torrents from the iPhoneDevTeam http://thepiratebay.org/user/iphonedev/ download whichever tool you need for OSX or Windows, then find the ipsw file for your firmware and save it to your desktop or wherever you installed quickpwn or redsn0w. There are many guides on the internet for doing this and they walk you through it with baby steps. It is extremely simple to do. I am not running 3.0 because: 1. it is still buggy 2. most jailbreak apps haven't been updated to work on 3.0 yet 3. most, if not all of the features that 3.0 gives you are already available through jailbreak apps. I also find these to be faster and more innovative and customizable than the apple counterparts in 3.0 If you want to run OS 3.0, there are even MORE guides on how to jailbreak that. I would try the Guides section at ModMyI http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Sorry if all that shit was unorganized and messy, just ask me any specific questions if i missed something, or if something is unclear and I'll do my best to answer! EDIT: if you are having trouble finding the ipsw files, just tell me and I can dig some up for you. There are a lot of different methods for jailbreaking and unlocking (unlocking means enabling the phone to run on another GSM carrier other than ATT, such as T-Mobile or SprintNextel, and thus the process of unlocking only applies to iPhones and not iTouch, though they both can be jailbroken, and in the case of iPhones, need to be first JB before they can be unlocked) In answer to your question about the difference between jailbreaking iTouch and iPhone, they are mostly the same method, though in some cases the software (like PWNage, QuickPWN, redsn0w) that you are using might not work with the latest firmware update, or has been deprecated in favor of another software. It is really a case by case basis, but the overall method is the same. If you jailbreak your iTouch, you should really have no problem jailbreaking someones iPhone for them, though it might require 5 min of reading on how which program to use for their iPhone model and firmware. AHAHA redundancy is fun, sorry for the repetition. EDIT2: If you are running 2.2, then there is no reason to upgrade to 2.2.1 unless there is some feature or crucial bug fix that you know about in 2.2.1 I do not know of one personally

For anyone who cares: The 3Gs is basically a 3G with a new bluetooth chip, an upgraded HSDPA antenna, a 3mp autofocusing camera (2.0 on 3g, and no autofocus). It has 256mb ram, the the 3g has 128. The CPU is also new, and is about 200mhz faster, though it is also underclocked from stock. Ive seen speedtests that show much faster boot time, and app load time based on this new hardware. Any other new "3gs only" features are not hardware dependant, and part of an age old tradition of apple playing tricks on an ignorent user base. What I mean to say is, they could all have been included with OS3.

@ Soul I've replaced the LCD and touch screen on an iPod Touch 2nd generation after my friend ran his over with his car. It was a fucking nightmare compared to ANY of the work i did on my iphone. The iPhone strips down into like 40 parts in a matter of minutes, and is apples best product yet The iTouch is a lot more work because the bezel (read: plastic piece that frames the LCD)is attached to the body by weak glue and some snaps, which means you will probably end up breaking it in the process of getting the front off. You will need to buy a new touch screen off ebay, like I did. You will also need a new LCD if his lcd turns out to be glued face-to-face with the broken touch screen. A tip, the touch screen is also referred to as a "digitizer" on ebay, so that is what you are looking for. You would probably do well to buy a front bezel as well, since you'll most likely snap it while taking the shit apart. The most irritating part of the whole operation is putting the touch screen on again, because the flex cable (small ribbon cable that comes from the digitizer and plugs into the logic board, which is UNDER the bezel by this point) needs to be fed through a small place in the bezel, AND folded at a strange angle. plus you need to glue the digitizer down yourself, using superglue, and if you have made any mods to the bezel (to make it not such a bitch or something) then your touchscreen will slightly stick up above the metal rim, which means you need some sort of other case on it for protection. Thats my experience. I would honestly just say... send it in to apple for $150 which last time i checked was how much they charged for out of warrenty repairs on an itouch. OR sell it on ebay and put that money towards a new one, since there are tech geniuses on ebay who will pay good money knowing they can replace the shit themselves. In the end, the stress of it was totally not worth it for me, I almost would have rather payed his way to get apple to do it. @kittykar I don't pirate any software, thats not at all why I jailbroke my phone. A casual user could take advantage of the myriads of productivity enhancing tools and tweaks available, for example: Backgrounder. You know how safari and the iPod music player run in the background if you switch to another app? I mean they dont close themselves just because you press the home button to open another app. The only reason that all other programs close when you hit the home button is because apple designed it that way. Backgrounder simply enables "universal backgrounding" so that any app can run just like iPod or safari, in the background. I swithc seamlessly from safari to Kotoba! and back again when I am learning japanese. If I am playing Pokemon Blue in japanese, then sometimes i need to background the gameboy emulator to look up a word in Kotoba! also. running IM+ lite or Facebook in the background is great, because no matter what you are doing, if you get a message from someone, your iPhone/iPod vibrates, and then you can switch back to it to answer them. There are also a huge number of apps that let you skin your interface, and make it look awesome. I would recommend Winterboard for that http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=winterboard&sa=N&tab=wi&um=1 Also, you can organize your apps into folders, or have drop-down menus etc. Categories and Stack are great apps for this. http://www.apple-touch.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/stack_application_launcher.jpg If you don't want to upgrade to the 3Gs, there are many apps that reproduce 3Gs functionality. I personally think that the "average user" can benefit a lot from jailbreaking. EDIT for KittyKar: http://www.rapidrepair.com and http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/ are your bible if you decide to do it yourself. @analoq. No worries dude, you're still on iPhones and shit, and thats what the topic is about. @jared. where is your sense of adventure man? it sounds like you live in a cocoon, or in 40s USSR. I've already explained how simple it is to restore your product to a condition where it can be serviced be apple support personnel. You're making it sound like I'm reaching into other peoples houses and jailbreaking their shit lol, I'm not forcing anyone to do anything, I'm just explaining the benefits of such a choice. If you can come up with any REAL downside to jailbreaking other than interrupting someones lazyness for about an hour, then I would be the first person to shout that shit from the mountain tops. The iPhone is a computer, and just like any computer system, it can get clogged and bogged with software, and eventually have decreased functionality. I reinstall Windows and OSX once a year approx because I use the fuck out of them. My mom doesnt, so she doesnt have to do that. If you use the fuck out of your iphone, then maybe at some point you'll have to factory reset it because its being a slowpoke, but jailbreaking is not directly responsible for that. Ive had iphone and iTouch slowdown syndrome from un-jailbroken units many a time.

side story: my laptop can run the source engine just fine, but not the HL engine properly. fucked up no? HL2 plays dandy on med settings, but day of defeat eats it unless its in 600x800 :/ i assure ive tried every driver and trick in the book to fix it too so that, coupled with my friend who got an alienware laptop with.... SLI'd gfx cards? is that even possible in a laptop? why the fuck would you ever try that? thats what he told me anyways. long story short it melted about 3 square inches on the bottom left side of the case clear off. those 2 have made me steer away from gaming laptops

Yea dude, I used redsn0w on my friend's 2g tonight and got it up and running. Seems like a lot of apps like winterboard and backgrounder(E-FUCKING-SSENTIAL) aren't compat with os3 yet, but maybe that was just a bug we ran into ourselves. Bossprefs I've heard isn't working well with 3.0, so thats a shame, but 3.0 is pretty snazzy in a lot of ways too, so its a trade off I guess. hehe what a stupid thing to say. everything is a trade-off, life is a trade-off. Im gonna bust out the ultrasn0w unlock on my 3G next week some time when I install the new camera and put the case back together. I'll post how that goes in case anyone else is thinking of getting a 3G on a different carrier. By the way, check out those speed test vids on 3G vs 3Gs. :/ man that new shit is faaast... at booting at least, but probably at almost everything else too. criminy EDIT: hey analoq, you crazy iphone hacker, port us some fuckin spc/gym players already, im sick of having to use an emulator just to listen to some vg tunes. I haven't investigated the sdk myself but i keep having a recurring dream where someone ports audio overload to iphone and world peace endures. Think of that shit!!! I could have the entire SNES library on my phone, with lots of nsfs and psfs thrown in for good measure. EDIT2: What I will probably do is upgrade to 3.0 so that the modem baseband is upgraded to the version that Ultrasn0w will unlock, then downgrade my firmware back to 2.2.1 so that all my jbapps will still work like butter, best of both worlds. We will see if this works in practice. My iphone was already at 2.2.1 when I bought it off that dude, so unfortunately I havent ever had it unlocked, since yellowsn0w was 2.2 only if i remember (or whatever firmware updated had baseband 2.28 )
